| Now
let’s consider what happens to all that CO2 |
|||||||||
| that
is emitted into the atmosphere. |
|||||||||
| Of
the 6 gigatons of carbon being put into the |
|||||||||
| atmosphere
every year by fossil fuel burning and |
|||||||||
| the
1.5 gigatons being put there by deforestation |
|||||||||
| (total
7.5 gigatons), only about 3 gigatons actually |
|||||||||
| remains
there. |
|||||||||
| The
amount remaining can be calculated directly |
|||||||||
| from
the increase in atmospheric CO2. |
|||||||||
| So
where is all the excess CO2 going? |
